mrs waweru hiyo ya pili ni gani?
If it is the green one as the rest are mangos and tangerines, it is called matomoko…we have loads of trees in our garden in Shathay/Muongoiya. You need to deal with it like how you deal with unripe bananas to make them ripe, putting them in a dark place. The other one sijui.
Matomoko or sugar apple.
Kigwa!
Sugarcane.
Ni ukwenda ucere East London handu hetagwo Green street ukagure kigwa na natomoko.
Oh my how did I miss Kigwa? tamu sana hiyo, ohhh memories as our mugunda huko has lots of sugarcane too…the colour confused me. Najua Green Street sana coz my friends shop there. A home away from home but I am a regular at East Street market which delivers the same stuff and is closer to my digs.
Umenipeleka back to my childhood. Asante sana.
Custard apple… matomoko
niko na matomoko mingi sana zinaozea kwa shamba. Nitazileta aje hukoz?
Ukifisha moja huku unatuuzia /-150!
Hizi mbili nilinunua 2 for £3.
Fanya hesabu!..
MoD needs to find a way like the chutas/walalos have found of bringing us these goods inc baganda green bananas, njahe, njugu, ndengu…sukuma. When I tell my Mum how much I have paid for Ngwashe/Ndumas…she gets very depressed…while hers are rotting huko in her shambas.
groundnuts
Mafora

Haha trust @Miss Finest Wine to kojolea someones thread na old wives tales from muchatha… @mrs waweru where I come from it is Matomoka not matomoko.
